Although hearing how a film was booed at Cannes Film Festival may lead you to think the film is terrible, often the opposite is true.
It should come as no surprise that, after being booed at the festival, excitement for the Kristen Stewart-starring Personal Shopper has hit fever pitch.
Meanwhile, Steven Spielberg’s The BFG had its first screening at Cannes, receiving middling to positive reviews from most critics.
Those who attacked the film were seemingly a vocal minority: The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw awarded the film a perfect score upon initial viewing while IndieWire scored the film B+ and Variety wrote positively about Stewart’s performance.
